retreat for Italians on Seventh avenue,
was scene of a riot tins evening in which
four men were seriously stabbed. The
trouble was caused by Michael Catalonia re-
fusing two unknown Italians the privilege
to sleep at his place. The strangers went
next door, where christening was in
progress and told OF Cataionia's inhoSpit-
able treatment. When the latter came in to
participate III the festivities he was up
braided for his conduct. and finally some
one struck him. This was the signal for a
free fight, in which every one OF fifty
Italians who were in the room
took part. Knives, razors and pistols
were freely fl0urShed, and chairs. pol.ers
and everything that could be handled were
used as weapons. After wrecking the fix
lures the rioters withdrew to the court,
where the fight was kept up until report
that the police were coming dispersed the
mob. -Four OF the party, Michael Catalonia,
Ontino DarribaL, Augustine Amend and
1ncenzzo Datto, were found to have been
seriously wounded. The two former have
ugly cuts in their sides and will probably
die. Amend and Datto were terribly
gashed about their faces and bodies, but
were not fatally injured. Eleven Italians,
who were in bed teigning sleep when the
police arrived, were arrested and will be
held for riot

Averitabie yvolf-Boy.

Bombay Guardian.
Some natives travelling by some unfre-
quented part Of the jungle in the Buland-
shahr district were surprised to see a small
boy 5 or years old crawling about on
hands and feet. On drawing near they
were amazed TO see the boy disappear
quickly within the interior of large hole,
which, on closer inspection, turned out to
be the dWelling-place OF some wild beast.
They reported the occurrence to the magis-
trate sahib of Bulandshahr. who dispatched
messengers to the spot with instructions to
light fire at the mouth of the cave. This
was done, and on the binding fumes max
ing their way into the fartheSt corner of
the hole a snarling she-wolf sprang forth
with bound. A moment later the boy,
too, came forth, when he fell an easy prey
to those intent on securing him. On con-
yeying him to the magistrate the boy Was
found to be speeches., nnbecile, and as
near an approach to an animal as human
being can possibly be. Vegetable food was
offered to him, but this he refused, and it
was only when meat was placed before him
that he would eat. In the orphanage he
soon learned to walk upright, partake of
vegetable food, and to wear clothing. All
attempts to teach him to speak have been
fruitless and he is void of ordinary reason.

Call Ii a Menace.

CHICAGO, Jan. SO.-About 200 socialists
held meeting at No. II West Lake street
to-day and adopted resolutions protesting
against the passage Of bill now pending
before congress to establish a permanent
military post near the city. The resolutions
declare that the object is to intimdate the

as the post is called. is a menace to the lib
critics of the people. The meeting also de-
manded the abolition of the present stand

an armed national militia, embracing all
males from the age of is to so capable of
bearing arms. Several of the speakers

HAPPY AND CONTENTED.
The Hopeful Condition of the Usage
Indians.

HRGlanSs
TAHLEQUAH, Indian Territory, Jan. so.
Mr.. johnson, of the Usage nation, has
been interviewed il regard to the condition
and progress of the Usage Indians. He
gives glowing account of the rapidity
with which they are becoming civilized,
and how fast they are taking hold of the
white mans ways. He says it is impossible
1or the OSages to be pauperS, for every
head of an average family of six persons,
draws $1,000 a year annuity. This is
simply the interest on their invested funds.
A large portion of them have large farms
and plenty of stock; in fact, some of them
are getting wealthy. They have adopted
code of laws similar to that of the
Cherokees, and these laws are exc
cuted in good shape. They are
somewhat exercised just now over
the bill that has passed congress to divide
their land in severalty. but they are greatly
in hopes that the president will veto the
bill. They have sent to Washington
strong protest against the measure, citing
divers tribes that have tried this expert
ment, showing in many instances they
have become paupers and wanderers upon
the face OF the earth. They refer with
much emphasis to the Wyandottes. who
tried this plan of alloting lands and became
beggars, and at least had to be given
reservation on which to live. Mr. johnson
says twenty years ago the enemies of the
Indians hooted at the idea Of the Usage
ever becoming anything but a band of row
ing nomads, making raids occasionally
upon the whites. committing depredations,
etc. but to-day finds them peaceful peo-
pie with plenty of their own, happy and
cOntented. with constitution and laws
well executed, after the fashion of their
white brothers. All they ask is to be let
alone and that their treaties be observed,
and they will solve what the white people
call problem, and show to the world that
Indians can become civilized.

New Style Steamboat auIi.

For twenty years L. P. Rider. of Pitts
burg. has been making experiments with the
object of increasing the speed of vessels and
lessening their draft by change in the for
nation Of the hull. At last he has con-
structed boat with which he will make a
test as soon as the river is free from ice.
Engineers pronounce his theory correct
one. The. boat, which is thirty-sx feet
long, is known as the 'concave bottom, -
the hull being built in a right and left hand
spiral form from the bow to the middle
section. The conformation of the hull is
such as to disDlace the water in q manner
closely approXimating to the 'wave-line''
theory, beginning at the cutwater. The
displacement is accomplished gradually
until the center of the boat is reached,
when the reverse action of displacement
begins. The concave beginning where the
convex ends. The greater the speed the
greater the lifting power, the boat rising on
the water, and consequently moving with
greater speed without any increase of
power.

The Cowboy as he Is.

The cowboys haye-to use their OWN
phrase-''taken a tumble to themselves"
writes George Anderson in the TomaIl
wis., Enterprise. Time was, and not so
very long ago either. that when the cow
boys received their pay after the round
up" they felt in duty bound TO 90 to Miles
City and elbow it inn at the gambling dens,
saloons, and other disreputable places.
"CoW-punching" is at best a very tough
business, and full of risks to life and limb;
and pay IS small and by no means adequate,
and after the roundup" there follows
long period of enforced idleneSS, during
which they are given food and lodging only
by the ranch owner. The average cowboy
was wont to turn up after his semi-annuaI
spree with very large head and not cent
in his pocket. Of late, however, the boys
have, as l have said, taken tumble to
themselves and are saving their money.
SO common has the economical spirit be-
come among them that Miles City has seen
this year the quieteSt season in its history.
Most Of the cowboys look upon their COM
ing to Montana to herd cattle as the mis-
take of their lives. The glowing stories of
thrilling adventure and sudden wealth Of
the cowboys life which are common in the
East are in most cases responsible for their
entering the guild, but the reality is quite
a different matter. Many Of the economi-
cal ones have been enabled by their savings
to return to their eastern homes.
People who have not beeu through the
bad lands have but faint conception of
the utter desolatiOn and worthlessness of a
cowboys home. He is roasted in summer
and frozen in winter. The lands can
never be used for anything but grazing, and
the distances are therefore something i'm
mense. One popularity Of the country
makes rapid riding very difficult, not to
say dangerous, undertaking. The earth is
so friable that tiny watercourse will
speedily cut for itself q deep gully, or
or ''coolie. ''as it is called, the depth of which
when filled with snow is entirely problemat-
zeal. A horseman who rides with q cow
boys recklessnes may suddenly find himself
at the bottom of six or eight foot coolie
with his horse On top of him, and no way
of getting out-if he happens to be still
aliye-save tunneling up to the head of the
stream through the snow. Then one Of
your broncho's feet is as likely as not to
sink suddenly two feet down into coyotes
hole when he is going at furious pace.
Result: His leg snaps off like pipe-sten,
and you are shot through the air to point
far beyond and picked up more dead than
alive. The water is generally bitter with
alkaIi and scorches your throat as YOU
swallow it; there is little to eat, and that is
hard to get.

the chair, drew a compariso between
Father NlcGlynn. who had served the poor

the lord in the archbishop's palace. He
concluded with the sentiment of Daniel
O'Connell: HGiye Us all the religion you

seemed to be the tone of the meeting
throughout. The gist OF the resolutions is
contained in the following:

authority, in or out of the United States.
